FBYING AND ROASTING PAN COVER.

Application filed June 14,

To all who-m it may concern:

Be it known that l, Gnome FREDERICK Illonmmse a subject or the King of Great Britain, and residing at the city of Edmonion. in the Province of Alberta, in. the Domini on of Canada, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Frying and Roasting Pan Covers, of which the tollowing is the specification.

lviy invention relates to improvements in trying and roasting pan covers, and consists of a cover having a number of vents "for the purpose of allowing steam to escape and at the same time keeping the grease from spattering and turning it back over i he mesh acting as a busier.

lVith a cover of this design, all meats or vegetables can be properly cooked, the meats beingproperly browned on top and. cooked through. By allov-Jing the steam to escape the par-boiling effect is done away with, which would happen with a closed cover, and it aso has the tendency to make the toughest meat very tender.

The device is very simple of construction and can be very cheaply manufactured, and

is more fully hcreina 'ter described and illussrated i. the accompanying drawings, in i 'hich:

Fig. l is a perspective view of a frying pan. with the cover in place and showing the arrangement oi vents.

F 2 is a perspective view of a roasting pan with the cover in place and showing the arm: jtfllltflll' o'li rents.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the hoods ot the vents detached from the cover.

Similar letters rotor to similar parts throughout the various views.

:3 is an ordinary frying pan having cover wi h hoods ot the vents C arranged thereon. The hoods of the vents C are formed in the shape of a half horn having a. sufliciently large opening at end a and tapering down to a closed point at end I). Openings D the shape of the hoods of the vents C are 1922. Serial No. 568,222.

formed in the coverB and to which the hoods of the vents are fitted. The hoods of the vents C have a flanged edge 0 Which fits underneath the cover, allowing the upper portion of the hoods oi the vents to project through the openings D and are held in place by the "flange 0 being either riveted or soldered to the cover. d is a handle attached to the cover for the lifting of same.

E is a roasting pan having a cover F with hoods of the vents G, in the shape of a halt horn arranged thereon. The hoods ot' the vents G have a sufliciently large opening at end 0 and taper down to a closed point end f. The hoods oi"- the vents G fit over the openings H and are held in place by the flange c which fits underneath the cover and are either riveted 0r soldered to same.

On the circular frying pans the hoods of the vents are curved" to suit the shape of the cover and face in the same direction. For square or oblong roasting pans the hoods of the vents are placed facing one another and are made to conform to the shape of the'cover.

The hoods of the vents being horn shaped and tapering down to a point. catch the grease as it spatters from the pan and drains down again, thereby eliminating the waste of grease which takes place with an open pan.

With this style of pan the grease does not spatter all over the stove and the smell of coooking does not permeate through the house.

WVhat I claim as my invention is In a trying and roasting pan, a pan and a cover having hooded vents tapering in horn like shape from open mouths projecting upwardly from the cover.

t iigned at the city of Edmonton, this 27th day of May 1922.
